The World Boxing Hall of Fame (WBHF) and the International Boxing Hall of Fame (IBHOF) are the two internationally recognized institutions that recognize and honor the contributions of boxers and others to martial arts. Some of the introductory members are Muhammad Ali, Joe Loius, and Ezzard Charles. These have fought their way to the top. Apart from the veterans, several newcomers to the profession are currently fighting for their names to hopefully be inducted into the Hall of Fame as well. Ryan Garcia is one of them.
Undoubtedly, Ryan is one of the best professional boxers, and he shows great promise. Since his debut in 2016, he has not lost a single fight.
Ryan Garcia Bio (Age)
Ryan Garcia is an American of Mexican descent, born on August 8, 1998, to Henry and Lisa Garcia. His father once dreamed of becoming a boxer (like his brother Sergio Garcia), but decided otherwise and became a coach instead. He started training Ryan at the age of 7 and also trained his younger son, Sean Garcia, and Ryan’s best friend, Lawrence The Dawg King – a middleweight pro. Sean made his professional debut in 2017, fighting in the super bantamweight class.
Ryan trained for a long time with his father, brother, friend, and uncle, who left boxing when he got married. Besides Sean, he has three other younger siblings (sisters). The boxer and his brother continue to enjoy amazing support from both their mother and father, who happen to be US (amateur), boxing officials.
